Best Nurse Clogs for Medical Professionals: Why a Blank Upper Surface Matters

Introduction

In hospitals and clinics, nurses and medical staff face daily hazards such as needle stick injuries, blood spillage, and exposure to hot fluids. The choice of footwear is not just about comfort — it is a matter of safety and protection. Many medical clogs in the market come with upper surface fenestrations (holes) for ventilation, but these openings also create risks. Artifactus nurse clogs, designed with a blank upper surface, provide superior protection without compromising on comfort.

Medical Hazards in Daily Work

1. Needle Stick Risks

   • In emergency rooms, ICUs, and surgical wards, sharp needles or scalpels can drop unexpectedly.

   • Clogs with fenestrations allow direct penetration, exposing the nurse’s foot to serious injury and infection.

   • Blank-surface clogs (like Artifactus) block penetration, significantly lowering risk.

2. Spillage of Blood and Body Fluids

   • Open-holed clogs let blood or contaminated fluids touch the skin, creating a biohazard exposure risk.

   • Closed upper clogs keep the surface sealed, preventing seepage to the foot.

3. Hot Fluid Spills in Kitchens or Wards

   • Nurses handling hot water for cleaning, or chefs in hospital kitchens, often face burns.

   • Fenestrated clogs allow hot fluids to reach the skin instantly.

   • Solid-top EVA clogs act as a barrier, preventing burns.
